"FORE, born in 1927 in BERAT (HAUTE-GARONNE), stands out as a poster designer (386 posters by the year 2000) by reason of his career, his style, his plastic creations (42 sculptures, 344 paintings) and his need to write (poetry, illustrated diary, aphorisms). Of a rural background, he followed correspondence courses in drawing, he attended Toulouse Beaux Arts and started drawing cartoons, and unexpectedly penetrated the world of poster design in 1950, through the Paris subway agency, Metrobus-Publicit\u00E9, without previous apprenticeship to a master poster designer. In 1956, when he was 29, the exhibition \\\"Vendre par l'affiche\\\" (Selling by Posters) brought him into contact with elitist Franch poster designers. His style, in figures tending to the abstract, was distinguished in 1972 by the word \\\"lignisme\\\", which links it with kinetic art. He personifies the independent commercial artist who, without signing any contract whatsoever, could nevertheless survive for fifty years by means of campaigns for home economics, health, lottery, SNCF transportation, etc. His small formats have developed an avant-garde spirit : 258 pharmaceutical advertisements (inserts, illustrated circulars, press advertisements, leaflets, logos, packaging from 1955 to 1965) and graphic works for industry and agriculture. In 1978, he created a lacquered fresco in the RER, which integrated him into the sphere of influence of urban mural artists. In 1982, as he had published his posters on postcards, he attended postcard exhibits frequented by postcard collectors, who commissioned posters and postcards from him. Studying as it does both his commissioned creations and his free creations, the present analysis of 116 posters, 187 pharmaceutical advertisements, 33 industrial graphic first productions, 45 postcards, 1 painted wall, 42 sculptures, 125 paintings, 10 pages of illustrated diary, enables us to place FORE in a perspective of poster history dating from 1950 to 2000 and in the trend of XXth century art, particularly in kinetic art as it concerns his best posters." . "FORE, n\u00E9 en 1927 \u00E0 BERAT (HAUTE-GARONNE), se singularise en tant qu'affichiste (386 affiches en l'an 2000) par son parcours, son style, ses cr\u00E9ations plastiques (42 sculptures, 344 peintures), son besoin d'\u00E9crire (po\u00E9sie, journal intime illustr\u00E9, aphorismes). D'origine rurale, apr\u00E8s des cours pas correspondance de dessin, les Beaux-Arts de Toulouse et des dessins d'humour, il p\u00E9n\u00E8tre par surprise dans le monde de l'affiche en 1950 gr\u00E2ce \u00E0 l'agence du m\u00E9tro de Paris, METROBUS-PUBLICITE sans passer par l'apprentissage d'un atelier de ma\u00EEtre affichiste. A 29 ans, en 1956, il int\u00E8gre le groupe d'\u00E9lite des affichistes fran\u00E7ais par l'exposition VENDRE PAR L'AFFICHE. Son style \u00E9pur\u00E9, dans des figures proches de l'abstraction a \u00E9t\u00E9 distingu\u00E9 en 1972 sous le terme de \\\"lignisme\\\" qui l'apparente au cin\u00E9tisme. Il incarne le dessinateur publicitaire ind\u00E9pendant qui a su durer pendant 50 ans sans jamais signer le moindre contrat avec une agence par des campagnes pour les arts m\u00E9nagers, la sant\u00E9, la loterie, les transports SNCF, etc. Ses petits formats ont d\u00E9velopp\u00E9 un esprit d'avant-garde : 258 publicit\u00E9s pharmaceutiques (encarts, circulaires illustr\u00E9es, annonces-presse, d\u00E9pliants, logos, emballages de 1955 \u00E0 1965) et travaux graphiques pour l'industrie et l'agriculture. En 1978 il cr\u00E9e une fresque laqu\u00E9e dans le RER qui l'int\u00E8gre dans la mouvance des artistes du mur urbain peint. En \u00E9ditant en 1982 ses affiches en cartes postales, il fr\u00E9quente les salons cartophiles qui lui commandent affiches et cartes postales. Menant de front cr\u00E9ation de commande et cr\u00E9ation libre la pr\u00E9sente analyse de 116 affiches, 187 publicit\u00E9s pharmaceutiques, 33 cr\u00E9ations graphiques industrielles, 45 cartes postales, 1 mur peint, 42 sculptures, 125 peintures, 10 pages de Journal intime illustr\u00E9, permet de situer For\u00E9 dans une perspective de l'histoire de l'affiche de 1950 \u00E0 2000 et dans les courants de l'art du XXe si\u00E8cle, en particulier le cin\u00E9tisme pour ses meilleures affiches." .
